Esphyr Slobodkina's Birthday

Today is Esphyr Slobodkina's Birthday. I have always known her for her popular children's book, Caps for Sale, although she does have a few other books out there, one of which is Circus Caps for Sale.-The Teacher's Calendar, 2008-2009

A peddler who sells caps by balancing them all on his head is invited to do an act in the circus.

This is by far my favorite of the two "Caps for Sale" books, but in order to fully appreciate this one, your child must be familiar with the first! I could totally see this book being made into a reader's theater for children! Perhaps I'll try to create that...

About Me

About the Blog

I am a Head Start teacher by day and a reader during any/all free time. Being a teacher I am always looking for children's books and products to use in the classroom.

This blog is going to provide parents and educators with books, products and a variety of educational activities to share with preschool and early elementary aged children (ages 3-7). Feel free to steal the ideas for your own classroom/homeschool, reading group, library or children!

Reviews

I am very interested in receiving copies of children's books and educational products for review. If you have a book or product that you are willing to send for review, please email me for contact information at kateh12783@hotmail.com.
